Culture

We care.

We care about each other, we care about our work, we care about relationships, we care about our community.

We are a strong team, the kind that has your back.

A team that calls the best out of you. We’re quirky optimists. We like to laugh, celebrate milestones, crack jokes and share stories over a meal.

We are results focused.

We invest in what works and have the courage to try new things. We persist, knowing impact is achieved with time.

We know what our values are, and we live them.

We’re not perfect but when we can, we ride our bikes, buy local, recycle and compost. We make decisions together and pitch in to get things done. We all have a voice.

We partner with others who dream big.

We believe that everyone has something special to offer. We are committed to inclusivity and belonging.

Together, we are a community of ordinary people achieving extraordinary things.

Recognition

We respect those who came before us and acknowledge that we operate on Treaty 7 land—home to the Kaiani, Piikani, Siksika, Tsuu T’ina, Stoney-Nakoda and Metis Nation Region 3.
